Psalms 2:6-12

6“But as for Me, I have 1installed 2My King Upon Zion, 3My holy mountain.”

7“I will surely tell of the 4decree of the Lord: He said to Me, ‘You are 5My Son, Today I have begotten You.8Ask of Me, and 6I will surely give 7the 8nations as Your inheritance, And the very 9ends of the earth as Your possession.9You shall 10 11break them with a 12rod of iron, You shall 13shatter them like 14earthenware.’”

10Now therefore, O kings, 15show discernment; Take warning, O 16judges of the earth.11 17Worship the Lord with 18 19reverence And rejoice with 20trembling.12 21Do homage to 22the Son, that He not become angry, and you perish in the way, For 23His wrath may 24soon be kindled. How blessed are all who 25take refuge in Him!
